Crystals, aside from being used as gemstones, jewelry and adornments, are also used for psychic protection, healing, deep meditation, channeling or energy and other energy work, grounding and storing information. Different kinds of crystals, depending on their sizes and the use you intend for them, vibrate at varying frequencies.

You may display it at a certain place or corner in your home or you may wear it as jewelry. Whatever you do with it, the crystal already knows what they have to do.

When looking at particular crystals and gemstones, be sensitive about how you feel. They may be communicating with you in ways beyond what is normal. Use these gemstones not just to adorn your physical self, but to beautify and cleanse your inner self as well.
